Important Safety Instructions
Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using your PowerLite Presenter:
■ Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service this product
yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
■ Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous
electrical voltages inside the projector can severely injure you.
■ The projector’s accessories come packaged in plastic bags. Keep plastic bags away from
small children to avoid any risk of suffocation.
■ Never look into the projector lens when the lamp is turned on; the bright light can
damage your eyes. Never let children or pets look into the lens when it is on.
■ Don’t place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Also, don’t stand on the
projector or place heavy objects on it.
■ Never push objects through the cabinet slots or spill liquid into the projector.
■ Do not use the projector near water, or sources of heat or vibration. Do not expose it to
rain or moisture.
■ Do not move the unit during playback.
■ Do not touch the projection lens with bare hands.
■ Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Do not use solvents
such as alcohol, thinner, or benzine. Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before
cleaning.
■ Do not use the projector in places where flammable gases or explosive gases may be
present in the atmosphere.
■ Do not use the projector in places where there is excessive humidity or dust, near cooking
or heating appliances, or in places where it may come into contact with smoke or steam.
Do not use or store the projector outdoors for an extended length of time.
■ Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use. Doing so will result in serious burns.
Before removing the lamp, turn off the projector and wait approximately one hour for the
lamp to cool completely.
■ The lamp is fragile and can easily break. If the lamp breaks, handle the projector with
extreme care to avoid injury from broken glass, and contact Epson to replace the lamp.
■ Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement period has elapsed, because the
possibility of lamp breakage increases. When the lamp replacement message appears,
replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible.
12 Welcome
■ The lamp(s) in this product contain mercury. Please consult your state and local
regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.
■ The lamp in this projector is under high internal pressure and may make a loud noise if it
breaks. If it breaks, ventilate the room to prevent mercury gas inside the lamp from being
inhaled or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.
■ Do not bring your face close to the projector while it is in use, to prevent burns from hot
air leaving the exhaust vent, and to prevent inhaling or contact with the gases inside the
lamp if it breaks.
■ Do not place anything that can become warped or damaged by heat near the air exhaust
vents.
■ Do not place the projector near a flame.
■ Before you move the projector, make sure it is turned off, the plug is disconnected from
the outlet, and all cables are disconnected.
■ If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or fragments of broken glass are inhaled or get
into the eyes or mouth, or if any other ill effects are noticed, immediately seek medical
advice.
■ Do not disassemble or damage the lamp or subject it to any impacts.
■ Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. If you’re not sure of the power
available, consult the power company.
■ If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, use the correct
power cord for that country.
■ Place the projector near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.
■ Don’t place the projector where the cord can be walked on. This may result in fraying or
damage to the plug.
■ Do not bend, twist, or pull the power cable excessively, and do not place heavy objects on
top of the power cable.
■ Do not modify the power cable.
■ Keep the power cable away from hot electrical appliances.
■ Do not pull the power cable when disconnecting the plug. Always be sure to hold the
plug when disconnecting it.
■ Don’t insert the plug into an outlet with dust present, and insert the plug firmly into the
outlet. Failure to do so could result in sparks or fire.
■ Don’t handle the plug with wet hands.
Welcome 13
■ Don’t overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles. This can
cause fire or electric shock.
■ Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions: when the power cord or plug is damaged or
frayed; if liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain, water,
or excessive humidity; if smoke, unusual smells, or unusual noises come from the
projector; if it doesn’t operate normally when you follow the operating instructions, or if
it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service; if it has been
dropped or the housing has been damaged.
■ If there is an electrical storm, do not touch the power plug, otherwise you may receive an
electric shock.
■ Keep the projector unplugged during electrical storms and when the projector is not in
use for extended periods.
■ Keep the batteries for the remote control out of the reach of children. Batteries are
choking hazards and can be very dangerous if swallowed. If they are swallowed, seek
medical attention immediately.
■ Replace the batteries as soon as they run out.
■ Do not expose batteries to heat or flame and do not put them in water.
■ Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
■ Remove the batteries if you won’t be using the projector for an extended period.
■ Insert batteries so that the polarities are correct, and do not mix new and old batteries.
■ Do not use batteries other than those specified in this User’s Guide.
■ Don’t block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide ventilation and
prevent the projector from overheating. Don’t operate the projector on a sofa, rug, or
other soft surface, or in a closed-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
■ Don’t leave the projector or remote control on top of heat-producing equipment or in a
heated place, such as a car.
■ Don’t use the projector outside of the required temperature range (41 to 95 °F [5 to 35
°C]). Doing so may cause an unstable display and could lead to projector damage.
■ Don’t store the projector outside of the required temperature range (14 to 140 °F [–10 to
60 °C]) or in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Doing so may cause damage to the
case.
■ Make sure there is at least 8 inches of space between the exhaust ventilation slots and the
wall or other object.
14 Welcome
■ Make sure there is at least 4 inches of space between the intake ventilation slots and the
wall or other object.
■ Avoid projecting a high-contrast still image for more than 15 minutes to prevent burn-in.
If this happens, project a bright screen until the burn-in disappears (from 30 to 60
minutes). If you can’t eliminate the burn-in, contact Epson as described on page 68.
■ Do not turn the volume too high, especially when using headphones. Listening to high
volume sounds over an extended period can damage your hearing. Sudden high volume
can also damage the speakers.
WARNING: The cords included with this product contain chemicals, including lead, known
to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling. (This notice is provided in accordance with Proposition 65 in Cal. Health & Safety
Code § 25249.5 and following.)

voltages in the projector can injure you severely. Do not try to service this product yourself, except
as specifically explained in this User’s Guide.
The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If another part needs replacing,
contact Epson or a qualified servicer (see page 68).

Your projector contains many glass and precision parts. If you need to transport it, follow
these guidelines to prevent damage:
■ When shipping the projector for repairs, use the original packaging material if possible. If
you do not have the original packaging, use equivalent materials, placing plenty of
cushioning around the projector. Be sure the carrier is capable of transporting fragile
equipment and is aware that the projector is fragile.
■ If you move the projector from a cold environment into a warm room, condensation
(moisture) may form internally or on the lens surface. To avoid damage that might be
caused by condensation, wait approximately an hour before using the projector. If
condensation forms, turn off the power, then wait an hour or two before use.
